Can I just show off the greatest gift ever received??? Yes, it’s real-time data, and I can set it to any station - it even does announcements if desired! 😍

An absolutely fabulous birthday, but a really standout gift was the ‘Station’ book by Christopher John Beanland from my parents - a beautiful yomp through 20th/21st century stations 🚆

Rail & intertwine much more often than many realise. The industry is not only technical, but an intensely creative & artistic space. Artist Leo Marfurt was commissioned by the London & North Eastern Railway in 1930, producing this striking work. Via Dr David Turner.

There are large termini where this would work in the UK - with enhanced staffing. Additionally, if this was a service delivered by the operator, it could be built in as an additional revenue stream, & could even highlight local independent businesses as an ordering option.

Absolutely fantastic to spend the day with Merseyrail & Merseytravel today - our East West Rail teams found it invaluable to explore the work undertaken at both new and old stations, rolling stock innovations, and door to door connectivity options.
